OK, a thought suddenly struck me – I see what you are getting at: that using the ID of the parent page isn’t ideal as it would need to be changed if the pages get re-arranged.

I’ll add a show_current_page parameter in the next release.

The current page will still be a link and will need styling with something similar to the CSS in my earlier post.

Thanks for the suggestion …

Sorry, I am unable to delete your posts from this forum … it is run by WordPress, and the only real control they give is being able to edit a post within 35 minutes of posting it.

See http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Forum_Welcome#Deleting_.2F_Editing_Posts for more information.

Just saw your response … looks like I was posting at the same time.

No, the Pages, Posts and other types of content aren’t organised by the menus … menus are arbitrary groups of items that cam be defined to have their own structure. This structure does not have to follow the organisation of the items contained in the menu.

Oh, and you seem to have

HTML tags wrapped around where the shortcode would be … probably from copying and pasting from a web site … if you edit the page in Text mode, you can remove this unwanted HTML which will cause problems with the how the child pages are displayed.

If you post a link to the page you have used the shortcode on, I’ll see if I can work out if the plugin will be of use to you.

You can always specify the ID of the parent page (0, if it is a top level page), e.g.:

[child_pages id="3"]

… and then just add styling to the current_page_item class:

.ccchildpages_list li.current_page_item a {
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
}

… the siblings option was added to specifically show just the siblings of the page.

I’m glad that you are finding it useful.

Thank you for your kind words.

I have corrected a small omission to one of the filters in the shortcode, so if you update the plugin you can now add your option as follows:

if( class_exists('ccchildpages') )
{
	// Add filters only if CC Child Pages plugin is installed

	// Default values for parameters
	add_filter('ccchildpages_defaults', 'cc_add_limit_pages');

	// Arguments for WP_Query - used by shortcode
	add_filter('ccchildpages_query_args', 'cc_limit_pages',10,2);

	// Arguments for wp_list_pages(), used in list mode
	add_filter('ccchildpages_list_pages_args', 'cc_limit_pages_list',10,2);
}

function cc_add_limit_pages($atts)
{
	// Add default value for new limit parameter
	$atts['limit'] = - 1; // add default value ... - 1 = show all pages

	return $atts;
}

function cc_limit_pages($args, $a)
{
	// check that parameter exists
	if( isset($a['limit']) )
	{
		// parameter exists, so set value for posts_per_page
		$args['posts_per_page'] = intval($a['limit']);
	}

	return $args;
}

function cc_limit_pages_list($args, $a)
{
	// check that parameter exists
	if( isset($a['limit']) )
	{
		// parameter exists, so set value for number argument
		$args['number'] = intval($a['limit']); // N.B. according to the codex, specifying the number argument for wp_list_pages does not work correctly at present
	}

	return $args;
}

Now you would just specify the shortcode as follows:

[child_pages limit="5"]

You can use this technique to add other options too …

I hope that this is of some help.
